-Allies familiar with the spell should take note when the caster begins to [[Spellcasting|cast the spell]], prior to discharge, making an effort to get out of the way.  All those engulfed in the flames will be affected, whether friend or foe.  It's possible, if a [[Wisdom (ability stat)|wisdom]] [[Ability Checks|check]] is made, to duck out below the flame's path.

+Because the flames lack sustained heat, the spell does not produce true burning embers or cinders.  The short-lived heat is not sufficient to cauterise wounds or sufficiently affect dampness nor transform the integrity of objects not already discussed.  The flames produced can be detected aubibly as a brief, low roar.
